'Supergirl' questions everything about her life in dark Season 3 trailer
"Kara Danvers was a mistake."
Those words were the biggest surprise of the Supergirl panel at Comic-Con Saturday, as the showrunners teased a Season 3 that looks certain to get as dark for the girl of steel as Season 3 of the The Flash did for that hero.
"The theme of Season 3 is 'what does it mean to be human?'", said new showrunner Jessica Queller. "All of the characters will be exploring that question, especially Kara."
The Supergirl panel also confirmed that Calista Flockhart's Cat Grant will return as a regular character, and that Heroes star Adrian Pasdar will play a highly topical real estate tycoon villain.
Supergirl returns to the CW October 9.
